Comprehensive Clinical Assessment

Comprehensive Clinical Assessment entails an hour and a half meeting between the client and a
counselor gathering background information on the client. This information will include why the

information the client and counselor will then prepare a Personal Care Plan (PCP). The Personal

HealthCare. Before the client receives the assessment the client must go through the intake
process.

Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance Outreach Access and Recovery
(SOAR)
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance ( SSDI)
programs provide financial assistance to individual who have disabilities that limit their ability to
work. Although people who are homeless have a particular urgent need for this kind of
assistance, they are much less likely to be approved for benefits compared to other applicants.
The SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) initiative aims to improve access to
these critical benefits for people who are homeless, using a multi-pronged strategy to mitigate
the most common challenges they face when applying for SSI/SSDI.

SSDI services does not mean that they will receive said services.

their ability to work.
Client must have 12 (recent) months of medical treatment from their condition

and withdrawal, while creating opportunities for individuals to make positive life changes.
Methadone functions by preventing opiate withdrawal, blocking the effects of other narcotics
and reducing the craving for opiate narcotics. Methadone is a synthetic narcotic approved by the
DEA and FDA in the treatment of individuals who abuse opiates.
As part of each clients service continuum and clinical best practice, clients are encouraged to
participate in concurrent services while therapeutic levels of methadone are medically managed.
These services include case management (basic needs such as healthcare, housing and nutrition),
education sessions, individual/group/family therapy, enhanced services (Substance Abuse
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (SAIOP) and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT)), and
psychiatric services. All services are integrated and designed to improve harm reduction skills

and/or addictive disorder and who do not effectively engage with treatment services. Assertive
engagement is a critical element of the rehabilitation and recovery model as it allows flexibility
to meet the consumers particular needs in their own environment or current location (i.e.,

populations or specific consumer circumstances that prevent the individual from fully
participating in needed care for mental health or addiction issues.

treatment service that uses evidenced based treatment modalities in combination with case

delivered by the CST staff, who maintain contact and intervene as one organized unit. The team
provides on-call crisis response 24/7/365.
Homeless Engagement
The goal of the Homeless Engagement Team is to provide people experiencing homelessness,
(many who are unsheltered, living in camps, or on the streets) with items to meet basic needs
such as socks, tents, sleeping bags, water, help getting an ID, making referrals to local support
systems, and to develop trust and a relationship through these services. The larger, longer term
goal is to engage these individuals in behavioral healthcare, substance abuse treatment, and/or
primary care services, as warranted.
